Ah, I see. I though there might be something different in Nebula.Thanks for the programs, would check them out!

I have not tried the sidechain yet, but I will use your programs today. Does this mean that I could create a duplicate of my audio on channels 1 and 2 in another host track, nudge it forward a few MS, and use that to trigger faster attack times through channels 3 & 4? Are people using this for faster attack in Nebula?

Yes, that's exactly what I've been doing, although if you use reaper you don't need to create extra tracks. I just put the js time/delay before Nebula and use the internal routing of the effect to send channels 1/2 to 3/4 (Don't forget to activate the extra channels in the i/o menu). Same goes for ReaEQ when adding a high pass filter on the sidechain (Thanks to Mercado for pointing this out).

Mplay, how many ms are you sliding the detector track (or rather, setting the delay to) to get a response you like on drums?I was finding a range of 4 to 10ms sounding ok in Cubase but it was such a busy drum track I'm not sure if I'm hearing things right.

I've only had time to test the Strip76 on some 808 kick drums and see if I could make it clamp down on the first transient with a lot of compression (-6 to -8db ). I just dial in the fastest attack and then I start nudging and tweaking until the smile comes on my face

Why do you nugde tracks or adjust time/delay on 'em, plugin delay compensation should work..?

This has nothing to do with pdc, I'm talking about making Nebula compressors look ahead by sending a copy of the audio to the sidechain channel a few miliseconds earlier. iirc, all Nebula compressors already allow to dial in 1.5 ms lookahead in the GUI, this trick allows you to use more then that
